I thought I'd put in a Shuffle Challenge now (Windows Media Player Shuffle. I don't even own an Ipod - I listen to music on my phone. It's not a smartphone, so it's ok, I don't need to charge it every two hours.) and one later one, to see how my playlists darken.

Alrighty then. Grigore Lese, on whom I will do a more encomapssing blog post later, is one of Romania's greatest folklorists and folklore musicians. Besides the fact that his voice and music are amazing, it's a patrotic thing.

Pheonix is a Romanian folk-rock band. I grew up with them and their lyrics are so good that one of the songs was featured in our 12th grade Literature textbook.

Mindy Gledhill speaks to my inner child. Don't you dare.

Yasmin Levy is a Israeli singer and she is just amazing. She sings mostly traditional iudeo-spanish music, somewhat like Gypsy Kings. I am in love with flamenco, my first celebrity crush was Juaquin Cortez.

Kanon Wakeshima is my Emilie Autumn.

I just love dancing - tango, flamenco, rumba, walz, oriental, stuff like that. That is one of the reasons I love Pink Martini, their songs are so easy to dance to.

I love all kinds of folklore, tribal and tribal-electro fusion.

You have to listen to Immediate Music while doing trivial things. I first listened to With Great Power while dusting. Most. Epic. Dusting. Ever.
